Growing Notes | Carrot seeds are tiny! They take 2-3 weeks to germinate and you need to keep them moist and clear from weed competition. It’s a bit tricky! |
Battle of the Bugs | Carrots seem to be pretty hardy once they get past the germination and early growth stage. |
Fun Fact | Carrots are “biennial” which means they don’t produce seeds until the second year. That’s a long time to wait to collect seeds! |
Don’t Waste It! | Carrots are too delicious to waste! Eat them raw or cooked. Don’t forget the greens…they are edible too! |
